Daisy chaining XLR cables
Good balanced XLR cables???? Not a problem. 
EMM Labs DAC 2 presentation
Yes, the EMM Labs is very transparent and clinical. It's what recording and mastering engineers want. The Playback is more "musical", allowing the harmonics to come though and is just a tad punchier on bass transients. I'd suggest the Positive Fee...

Rives Audio Consulting - Advice?
We had a Level 4 done from the ground up and we have nothing but praise for Richard and Chris. We even got a second opinion from Bob Hodas who came out and set the speakers up and measured both rooms. The build was over $300k. Having a designer/ac... 
Multichannel SACD with computer as transport?
This is an SACD/CD transport. We use both the Playback Designs MPS-5 and the EMM Labs CDSD-SE to capture into either Pyramix or Sonoma. 
Extra long runs of Digital coax?
